First there was Bird. Then there was Lime. Spin is coming in May. Now, ride-hailing company Lyft is bringing its own scooters to the streets of Indianapolis, the city announced Thursday afternoon.

But the company could arrive just in time for the passage of new limits on the number of scooters: The city on Thursday also announced plans to introduce and adopt new rules on the number of scooter companies allowed to operate in the city, the number of scooters allowed and where the companies can place scooters.

Lyft requested permission to operate 1,200 scooters in Indianapolis, said Brandi Pahl, chief communications officer for the city's Department of Business and Neighborhood Services, which regulates the scooters.

The average number of scooters deployed by Bird each day topped 2,000 in October, according to data the company provided to the city. That number dropped to as little as 150 scooters per day on average in February.

Lime saw a similar trend: It deployed more than 1,800 scooters per day on average in October then deployed 525 per day on average in February.

Bird and Lime were limited to 1,500 scooters each for the first 30 days of their license; however, the city did not put a new limit in place after those 30 days. That may change with the new regulations being considered by the city.

In addition to giving the city the authority to limit the number of scooters in operation, the rules passed in July created a $15,000 up-front fee to operate in the city plus a fee of $1 per scooter per day.

Rules impacted scooter riders, too: Scooters should be ridden on streets, not sidewalks.
